All, This is I guess posed to those more senior members like myself. I recall years ago, and article in the original Courier about introducing hospitals in our games. Now, since I've been playing around with Bob Cordery's hybrid of his Portable Wargame rules and Shambattle, the idea of hospitals has popped up again. I'm wondering if anyone might know what issue that was, and even better, might have a copy. If I remember correctly, the article was called "At the sign of the Red Cross". |

Doesn't sound familiar, but I'll take a look. Thanks. I'm talking about the older, smaller version of The Courier, not the magazine version. |

Shambattle? I thought I was the only one who ever played that! Really "Old School." I will take a look at my old Little Couriers. |

Do you have "Funny Little Wars"? It has 4 pages or so on field hospitals, stretcher-bearers, surgeons, etc. |

What exactly would a hospital play in a wargame? They really come into after a battle. Not during. |

OK. Let me work on something. |
